1 Then Adam and Eve came out of the Cave of Treasures,
and went near to the garden gate, and there they stood to
look at it, and cried for having come away from it.

2 And Adam and Eve went from before the gate of the
garden to the southern side of it, and found there the
water that watered the garden, from the root of the Tree of
Life, and that split itself from there into four rivers
over the earth.

3 Then they came and went near to that water, and
looked at it; and saw that it was the water that came forth
from under the root of the Tree of Life in the garden.

4 And Adam cried and wailed, and beat his chest, for
being severed from the garden; and said to Eve: --

5 "Why have you brought on me, on yourself, and on our
descendants, so many of these plagues and punishments?"

6 And Eve said to him, "What is it you have seen that
has caused you to cry and to speak to me in this manner?"

7 And he said to Eve, "Do you not see this water that
was with us in the garden, that watered the trees of the
garden, and flowed out from there?

8 And we, when we were in the garden, did not care
about it; but since we came to this strange land, we love
it, and turn it to use for our body."
